Hey y'all

Once again, Pipp has inspired me.

Her thread "The Ugly Truth" got me thinking: One of the prettiest looks on a woman is messed up morning hair and no makeup. And I know a lot of other guys feel this way.

But a woman will insist till she's blue in the face that she's like a movie monster in that condition. And a man will insist just as strongly that he is looking at a supermodel.

A woman will be convinced that a man just says things like that to make her feel better. At the same time, a man will say that that's how he really feels.

I've never been married but I can safely say that when a man has a woman to himself, that just makes her more appealing to him. Even when she is upset about her appearance.

So ladies (those who are married), if you know your husbands well enough, you can trust that they mean it when they tell you that you're beautiful to them.

Save your breath. They will never listen. No matter how insistent you are, no matter how many times you tell them, they will always believe that you were just lying in an attempt to spare their feelings.

well...not so actually

I know for a fact my husband prefers a more natural look...my brother could not stand too much makeup...and I know if I look ok or not in the am...I actually prefer tousled hair and not helmet hair...on myself

I don't even like perfection...no worries there I guess lol!

when all the makeup comes off, it's gonna be the whole truth and nothing but the truth anyway....:p

My mom told me the other day “You look so much prettier with make up.” I told her that is kind of the point of make up. No one acts without make up. All the Hollywood goddesses wear make up. I heard a preacher say “Any old barn looks better with a coat of paint”. He was preaching in defense of makeup and that Christian woman does not equal slattern woman or dumpy woman.

I find that I am approached by men more often when I am not wearing makeup. When I am not wearing makeup or dressed up too. But I like what I look like when I wear makeup and dress up. My husband use to tell me that I was beautiful in either state but I felt it more often when I made an effort.

Careful with that saying. That one has gotten men in trouble before...

my husband will spontaneously erupt with words like, you're so beautiful, at the oddest times. normally at such times, i feel i look pretty much like a train wreck, yet i totally believe he means it. he's basically never disingenuous, so i believe him.

i also think women get chicked out for other women. (sorry, gentlemen, if you thought that was about you, lol)
we tend to be judgmental and gossipy about one another.
there's solidarity for you. :rolleyes:

I still see the 33 year old I married. He still sees the 24 year old he married.

I ascribe to not being self deluded. Any woman who thinks she looks better sans make up is delusional.
Q.E.D. As La_Vie has demonstrated, women just won't believe you.

Though I guess it depends on who you listen to. If women listen to other women, it seems they think they look like train wrecks when they first get up. If women listen to men, apparently they are beautiful first thing in the morning. So... which one are you women going to listen to? The ones you are dating and marrying or the ones who are COMPETITION for the ones you are trying to date and marry?

Melita: that is because the aspects that you think are random, silly and dumb are exactly what a man needs to balance out the innate logic of a man's psyche. Most men realize this on some level, although a lot of men don't think about it enough to know exactly what it is and be able to put it in words. All they know is something about a woman's way of looking at the world complements their outlook. This is often expressed by telling the woman she is cute or beautiful at what are apparently odd times.

Every morning my husband told me "Hi beautiful". Even after 35+ years and/or when I had just gotten up ... still in pjs, hadn't brushed my hair, or had my first cup of coffee.

I generally do not wear make up. Would I look "better" with make up? Probably.

My response to the "any old barn looks better with a coat of paint" remark made by the preacher?

Does an old tree look better "made up"?

I am not against make up and don't care one way or the other whether a person wears it or doesn't wear it.

I've seen beautifully made up people behave horribly and thereby mess up their "image". And I've seen people who are not as well made up behave wonderfully, thereby beautifying their "image".
